Morgan sits in Allegheny County, on hilly ground cut by steep valleys, where heavy rain and snowmelt run down the slopes fast. That shapes what you order here, especially the washed stone that moves water away from a house.

Drainage is the job that comes up first on these hillsides. Roof and drive runoff has to go somewhere, and on a slope lot the wrong answer sends it into the clay. Here is the stone, coarsest to finest, with what each size does.

For a French drain or a downspout run, 2B stone is the one to spec. It is clean, washed crushed stone with no fines, so water passes straight through instead of packing tight. Drain Rock covers the same work. A drywell is built the same way: open stone, fabric on the trench walls, and the pipe daylighted or tied into the well.

Behind a retaining wall, keep the clean stone against the wall and let the fines stay out of it. #67 Stone suits drainage and concrete work where a slightly smaller clean stone than #57 is wanted. For the base under a patio or shed, switch to 2A Modified.

It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard and stays put. That is the Pennsylvania base stone for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Crusher Run is the same idea with a different name on the ticket.

Above the base, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted 2A modified layer. On wet ground, a clean stone layer under the base helps water drain before it reaches the clay.

Ground and Conditions in Morgan

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Long wet spells and rain on snow are when hillside ground is most likely to move, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

The ground here is flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone, claystone and coal beds weathered into silty, clay-rich soils. Many communities sit over old underground coal mines. Water soaking into clay layers on slopes is the main landslide trigger, which is why where roof and drive runoff is sent matters on a hillside lot.

Freeze-thaw cycles come every winter. Clay-rich soils that stay wet soften and heave, so a thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, and your building official has the figure that applies to your job.

Landslides and slumping on steep slopes with clay-rich soils are most common in and around the Pittsburgh region, along with stream bank scour and ditch washouts after heavy rain. That is where clean stone and riprap earn their place: RipRap for ditch and stream bank armoring, sized by R-number, and Railroad Ballast where you need hard standing and severe drainage.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Morgan?

Start with 2A modified. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard and carries a drive through freeze-thaw. On wet ground, put clean 2B stone below it so water drains before it reaches the clay. Top the compacted base with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface.
